The Denver City Council approved a plan last week that will give up to $1,000 cash a month to homeless people for up to a year as part of a basic income program designed to help “lift individuals out of homelessness.” The only catch? White cisgender males need not apply. The program is designed for women, transgender and gender non-conforming individuals, and families in shelters even though whites are the majority of homeless (60%) and men of all races are the majority of homeless individuals (71%). It's almost as if they don't actually want to help the homeless but instead want to use this as a wedge issue to further institutional anti-white bigotry and gynocentrism.
The $2 million required to finance this plan comes from federal COVID relief money allocated in the American Rescue Plan Act. More than 140 homeless people will benefit from the program, provided that they are using the shelter system.
